4.3 Discussion
Film as a series of moving pictures recorded with sound that tells a story, it is ussually
shown on television or the cinema. In film can tell about many act like the character of the
actors in film. Beside that in film also has a script written by producer. Because without a
script, the film is not good. Then the has some elements that support in processing film
production, they are : director, the actors, script writer, producer, director of photography,
music director, editor, and genre.
The action in film usually show by the characters when they are talking about their
hopes and dreams, past and future plans, discuss their needs and desire fears and conflict.
Like as in film, when Ronnie come and live with her father she stay show angry face
to her father and she didn’t want to play piano gain. But after Ronnie meet with a boy friend
in the beach, she start to falling in love and then she start to told with her father. At a time her
father look Will is kissed to Ronnie and Steve persuade Ronnie for making a song about
love. Day changes to day her father get a cancer and his die is nearly. So that Ronnie is sad
and she will play the piano again, when her father is sit in a room Ronnie go an it in front of
the piano then she playing her father’s song while look up her father suddenly her father is
death. Ronnie is very sad. Because he remember her wrong to her dad, she always angry to
her father, she also never follow what the father want. Now Ronnie back for live with her
mom.
Furthermore, perlocutionary act are applied in a literary works like as film “ the last
song” is one of the film that have perlocutionary act.
The perlocutionary act is one aspect of speech act that amount to persuading,
convincing, scaring, enlightening and inspiring. It is an act what we bring about to saying
something. Character of perlocutionary act that the response success, or the sequel, can be
success additionally by non-locutionary means, thus intimidation may be success waving a
stick or painting a gun.
As the result based on the data analyzed above, I find and analyze five aspect of
perlocutionary act in film “ The Last Song”. Those are :
1. Persuading, I find and analyze six utterances of persuading. These aspect is make
somebody do something by giving them good reasons for doing it.
According Austin (1962:109) says that "Perlocutionary act is what we bring about or
achieve by saying something such as convincing, persuading, deterring, and event
say, surprising or misleading".
2. Convincing, I find and analyze ten utterances of convincing. These aspects is make
somebody or yourself believe that something is true.
According to Searle, these notion she now wish to add Austin’s
notion of the
perlocutionary act. Correlated with the notion of illocutionary acts is the notion of the
consequences or effects such acts have on the action, thoughts, or beliefs, etc. of
hearer. For example, by arguing she may persuade or convince someone by warning
him she may scare or alarm him, by making a request she may get him to do
something, by informing him she may convince him ( enlighten, edify, inspire him, get
him to realize). The italicized expressions above denote perlocutionary acts.
3. Scaring, I find and analyze three utterances of scaring. These aspects is frighten some
body to something be happen.
This is one of the effect of perlocutionary which making somebody be worried to
something, for example a father say to his boy children that he will kill him then the
boy children is afraid and cry that is happen a perlocutionary especially in scaring
effect.
4. Enlightening, I find and analyze five utterance of enlightening. These aspects is give
somebody more knowledge or understanding of something.
Furthermore enlightening is a part of perlocutionary which given explain to someone
about something. So they can received what does we want. That is have a
perlocutionary between speaker and hearer on enlightening process.
5. Inspiring, I find ad analyze three utterance of inspiring. These aspects is fill somebody
with the ability or desire to do something. The last in this research about inspiring of
perlocutionary, this is a effect which given sprit to somebody for making something
become good job. In film the last song is have some utterance relation with inspiring.
